Answer:

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of mercury = 29.5 g

Initial temperature = 32°C

Final temperature = 161°C

Heat absorbed = 499.2 j

Solution:

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

Q = m.c. ΔT

ΔT  = T2 - T1

ΔT  = 161°C - 32°C

ΔT  = 129 °C

Q = m.c. ΔT

c = Q / m. ΔT

c = 499.2 j / 29.5 g. 129 °C

c =  499.2 j / 3805.5 g. °C

c = 0.13 j/ g.°C

Answer:

3.  turns pink and is basic

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein is a pH indicator that remains colorless in acidic solutions, but in basic solutions it turns pink at a pH equal to 10.

Phenolphthalein is a weak acid that loses H+ cations in solution. The phenolphthalein molecule is colorless, while the phenolphthalein-derived anion is pink. When a base is added, phenolphthalein loses H+, forming the anion and causing it to turn pink. The color change cannot be explained only on the basis of deprotonation, a structural change occurs with the appearance of a ketoenolic tautomerism.

1. A substance, A₂B, has the composition by mass of 60% A and 40% B. What is the composition of AB₂ by mass?
Lubov Fominskaja [6]
This may help you
Use an arbitrary mass, 100 g is an easy number to work with. 60% of 100 g is 60 g, there are two A's. Each A is 30 g 40 g is B, and there is only one, so B is 40 g. <span>A<span>B2</span></span>, would have a mass of 30 g + 2*40 g = 110 g The new percent by mass composition of A is: <span><span><span>30g</span><span>110g</span></span>∗100%=27.3%</span> The new percent by mass composition of B is: <span><span><span><span>80g</span><span>110g</span></span>∗100%=72.7%</span></span>

Determine which equations you would use to solve the following problem: Calculate the amount of heat needed to change 20.0 g of
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Q = 4019.4 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of ice = 20.0 g

Initial temperature = -10°C

Final temperature = 89.0°C

Amount of heat required = ?

Solution:

specific heat capacity of ice is 2.03 J/g.°C

Formula:

Q = m.c. ΔT

Q = amount of heat absorbed or released

m = mass of given substance

c = specific heat capacity of substance

ΔT = change in temperature

ΔT = T2 - T1

ΔT =  89.0°C - (-10°C)

ΔT = 99°C

Q = 20.0 g ×2.03 J/g.°C × 99°C

Q = 4019.4 J
